Heres info about my car:
95 ls teg
about 140k miles
basically stock

Anyways, Today it was hot and humid (about 80) and raining. I turned my ac on and this whitish smoke comes out. I wouldnt really say it was smoke because it didnt make the inside cabin all foggy or smokey. Here's an analogy: It was as if it was cold outside and someone was breathing hard.

I tried to smell it but it just smelled like air.

With the ac button still on, I put the recirculation button and it went away.
Then I turned the recirc button off and the ac off and it went away.

Once i turned the ac on again it seemed like the white smoke was gone. Im like wtf?

Keep in mind this was all done while i was driving.

Can anyone enlighten me on this matter?

Thanks

 

I have the exact same thing happening to my car. It is a 01 gsr w/ 80000 on it. I think its just the freon from the ac or something. I don't think its a problem as long as your ac still works fine. Sorry can't be of assistance, just that your not the only one w/ same thing happening.

haha it smells like oxygen and nitrogen with traces of water vapor, carbon dioxide, argon, and various other components.

I dont know....it just smelled like fresh air on a hot summer day

LOL. well, sound like nothing serious, since its not burning or AC gas smell.

pop your hood and inspect

i had the same exact deal in my 94 ls last summer, i just told people it was a smoke machine, some real custom jdm ****.

 

hahah, friend of mine said it looked liked a ghost was entering my car.

 

Hmmmmm, I've never seen smoke.... but my buddy's GSR spits out snow with the AC on....serious.....if you catch it, it melts in your fingers. Honda FTW
